WHAT I OFFER
WHAT IS TRANSPERSONAL THERAPY?
Transperosnl Counselling
& Art therapy
The term "transpersonal" literally means "beyond the personal." Transpersonal psychology emerged in the late 1960s as a response to the limitations of traditional psychology, which primarily focused on the mind and behaviour. Influenced by figures like Carl Jung, Abraham Maslow, and Stanislav Grof, this field explores the full range of human experience, integrating spiritual dimensions with psychological study. It encourages us to look beyond personal identity and connect with a broader sense of being.
It is a holistic approach that utilises various techniques to access the subconscious information and wisdom from deeper aspects of our being, offering valuable insights for transformation and healing.
It honours the entire human experience, with any form of expression being key to the therapeutic process.
The approach is based on the belief that healing is always possible and that the psyche inherently seeks balance and well-being.
As a client-centred approach, new meanings, responses, and solutions are drawn from the client, not imposed by the practitioner.
During the session, both counselling and art therapy can be combined, or we can choose to focus on either counselling or art therapy alone. It depends on the situation.
In art therapy, no prior artistic experience is required, as the focus is on the meaning behind the expression, rather than its form.
Furthermore, the practice follows a shamanic model of healing, where we enter altered states of consciousness, working with images, symbols, and stories that arise from both the individual and collective unconscious.
This offering is for those who:

HOW I SUPPORT YOU
with TRANSPERSONAL THERAPY
5 STEPS OF GENERAL THERAPY PROCESS
01
BUILD TRUST
The therapist and client build trust through natural questions and conversation, ensuring that their healing directions align.
02
ISSUE/ ENQUIRY
In a safe and confidential setting, the therapist explores the client's issues and emotional state through conversation.
03
ALTERED STATE
Under the therapist's guidance, a variety of creative methods are used for induction, allowing the client to naturally enter an altered state of consciousness.
These methods may include:

Breathwork
-
Artistic expression
-
Journaling
-
Somatic exploration

04
DEEP JOURNEY
In altered states of consciousness, we can find answers to problems or heal wounds and traumas. This is not about forcing anything, but rather, it unfolds naturally through waiting with unconditional acceptance and love, listening, and empathising. Our important role is simply to be fully present.
05
SOLUTION & BACK HOME
You can reconnect with your ordinary state of consciousness and, through the therapist's questions, explore yourself more deeply. In this process, you may realise more practical solutions or return to a deeper state of consciousness. When you're ready, the journey of the day is safely concluded.

Narri
I’ve done some therapy sessions with Jiwoo last year and always felt safe to express and show my feelings. I felt supported.
The sessions were according to my current state and the inner waves I was feeling. Some days we explored figures and painting, and other days I was invited to extend my body and move, giving meaning to those movements, and also diving deep into past memories and present feelings.
It’s a challenge for me to open up, but every time I allowed myself to do so, I had a good and honest session with Jiwoo! Self-awareness and growth is not an easy process, and it takes time. I’m still learning and looking forward to talking to her again, hopefully soon.
I really appreciate her work, patience, and the warm environment!

Jiwoo was a gentle and compassionate companion on our inward boat expedition through the dark night. She was calm and grounded as she held our candle into the darkness and reflected what I saw as I explored my inner landscape.
With her comfortability with the unknown, her bravery and experience I felt completely held and free to explore parts of myself that were yet unknown to me.
Jiwoo is calm, generous and grounded. She is a gift to anyone wishing to explore themselves, their relationships and their life further.

The therapy with Jiwoo was of great help during a phase of major decisions in my life.
Although I am a pragmatic person and sometimes resisted some methods of art therapy, I can say that Jiwoo always found ways to provoke deep internal reflections that helped me get to know myself better and, consequently, make some important decisions in my life.
I am extremely grateful for Jiwoo’s tremendous support, and I am sure she will light the way for other clients just as she did for me.
